Tell the FDA to stop the sale of deadly menthol cigarettes

The Food and Drug Administration banned every other cigarette flavoring years ago -- only menthol was spared, due largely to the tobacco companies’ intense lobbying. Adding menthol to cigarettes is Big Tobacco’s last legally permissible gimmick to hook people of color on smoking.

Sign our FDA petition, which reads: "I demand that you immediately ban menthol cigarettes, which disproportionately hook Latinos, African Americans and other people of color, and contribute powerfully to negative health outcomes in these communities."
